What Happens When I get a Gift Certificate to a Book Store:

So I recently got a gift certificate to the Green Hand (greenhandbooks.blogspot.com) in Portland,  which if you live or visit here you must check out. And unlike a normal adult, I bought children's books.

Not Just any children's books, no. I bought Pssst by Adam Rex (adamrex.com) and Uncle Bigfoot by George O'Connor (geooco.blogspot.com <-- I think that's him)

Both books have great illustrations and hilarious stories. Be sure to check em' out!

Sketchbook from Montreal

A sketchbook drawing I did in the Old Port of Montreal down near the water. I was such a gorgous day out I had to do some drawing, but then when my hands felt like they were going to fall off I had to stop.

Note: Drawing outside awesome and fun. Drawing outside in 20 something degrees F, not so fun.

Montreal Photos...finally

I know, I have been totally slacking with these photos from Montreal. I had an amazing time while I was there and have the photos to prove it. While I was there I did get to go see the Contemporary Arts Museum, which had an amazing exhibit where every piece included the artists interpretation of the color blue, as well as the Fine Arts Museum which had a featured exhibit on Otto Dix (see left).

Okay, and now for the onslaught of photos from Montreal. Get ready for some randomness that was caught within the Old Port, which has some beautiful buildings and fantastic stuff all over.
